What a Gator Bowl…good game Kentucky! Proud of my Tigers. Good luck to everyone else on their bowl games!

ESPN has the same order I do in my head, best teams over most deserving. Michigan and Washington are both tied at 1 for me but Michigan was ranked higher previously so I’m giving them the edge. Would’ve been way more interesting/controversial if Jordan Travis was still healthy and FSU dominated Louisville. We really might not have had an SEC team in the playoff for the first time ever.

1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. Texas
4. Alabama
5. Georgia
6. Florida State

For Clemson, it’s looking like the Holiday Bowl against either Oregon State or USC. I’m fine with either school. The matchup against DJU would’ve been an interesting one and the Riley Bowl matchup would be fun. Never played the Beavers before but we’d have a chance to avenge our lone loss to the Trojans back in checks notes 1966.

Good luck to everyone, may the Bowls be ever in your favor!

Don’t worry Aggie bros, you will always have the 20-- National Championship. No one can take that away from you.

The script that we use for the bots is programmed to put the score in the title. I’ve looked through the code for the bots and don’t know how to remove them myself but if you know how to remove the scores from the title you can take a look at the GitHub and submit a pull request.

It is Winsday, my dudes. Go Jags!

Everyone liked that.

It’s interesting that you were able to see the Jags thread but not the Titans thread that Game Bot posted.

It Was Always The Jags!

It is Winsday, my dudes.

I do have a bot that posts these threads, but I’ve been told by a user in /c/CFB that kbin.social blocks all bot accounts across Lemmy currently. There’s not much participation in NFL threads yet but if you’d like to see them I can unmark @game_bot as a bot account.

Let’s Go JJ’s, Let’s Go!

The way Redball works (the game thread bot program that is used across this instance) is that we have to specify a single team to post a game thread for. This bot is meant to be used for each individual community (i.e. instead of posting this to /c/nfl I would have to have one bot post to /c/chargers and a second bot post to /c/titans). Because I would rather post one single game thread for each game to /c/nfl, I have been turning on bots for the home team to post the games here. So if the home team wins, the title is [Home Team] defeated the [Away Team], but if the home team loses then the title will be [Home Team] fell to [Away Team].

I had no part in programming this, so I’m not sure what to change to make it consistent across game threads regardless of winner. You can visit the Github and submit a feature request for this or play around with the files if you are good with Python.

Message me directly if you have any more questions, I’m not much of a programmer but I am running the NFL thread bots right now, excluding the Eagles bot.

Looks like we just didn’t have it today boys, the Chiefs are just too good for us. Hope we can rematch in the AFC Championship!

This is another game where I want both teams to lose…and it’s going to OT!

Well, at least we had week 1 to sit atop the AFC West. I will cherish that for many years to come.

I thought he was going to be good in the NFL, good pick for the Falcons

Looking bad for the home team. TLaw has fought back from worse but it’ll be tough against Mahomes.

Not looking good for the good guys. I’m not surprised but I was hoping for a better outcome.
